I love a good fancy toast, and this one does not disappoint, the subtle sweetness of the ricotta along with the little bursts of pomegranate seeds all topped off with some candied lemon slices and just a touch of zest, ugh, yes please!
Things you need
1 C. of Ricotta cheese
8 slices of bread, I like to use a good, crusty french bread
Pomegranate seeds from 1 fruit
2 lemons ( zest prior to slicing)
3 Tbsp. of sugar
About 2 sprigs of finely chopped fresh mint
What to do
First, whip up your ricotta into a nice fluffy texture. Toast your bread and then slather it on, don’t be shy, the more the merrier.
Next you want to mix the sugar with some warm water, about 1 cup should do the trick. Then slice your lemon very thin and put it into the mixture of sugar water for about 5 minutes.
While the lemon slices soak, cut and seed the pomegranate.
Then, thinly slice your mint
Finally, put everything together. Top your toast with the pomegranate seeds, the candied lemon slices ( you will probably have to dab them off on a paper towel so that they are not too wet), and the mint. Finally, if you want a little bit of a zing, add some lemon zest to top it off.
